What makes you think it's rich people who are doing the hiring?

Pretending that the cost of housing is a problem only for people who refuse to live within their means is certainly one way to show why resentment of the rich is near an all-time high.

Why would anyone want to work for a company that does stuff like this??

This looks like the latest escalation in the tug-o-war between employers and remote workers. The relatively few people going to extraordinary efforts just to avoid doing the job they're being paid to do is going to ruin it for everyone else. Do you want to make return-to-office mandatory? Because creating AI fakes to pretend to be on work meetings sounds like a good way to make that happen.

Bots and other bad actors thrive in free (as in beer) environments, for reasons that should be obvious. If we want to do anything meaningful about them, sites will need a nominal but real fee to use.

It's not what anyone wanted, but "free" was always inevitably going to lead to the Internet becoming a dump. The free ride is over.

It's almost as if the deportations aren't the problem. Maybe one day you'll figure this out.

There's no such thing as a "financial crime" in the US if you have over a billion dollars and are willing to pay tribute to the king.

On the other hand, I was not aware of this feature and enabled it IMMEDIATELY.

We're supposed to just take them at their word that this is unrelated to the white collar job cuts.

I'd read the first 10 books when I was younger but lost momentum and stopped. I finally powered through it a few years back, and found the change of pace from Jordan to Sanderson rather jarring.

I wonder if I would have enjoyed WoT more if the whole series had been on Sanderson's pace or Jordan's. Advantage Sanderson since Jordan's writing was ponderous at best.

Banning kids from accessing social media is "handing parenting to big tech" in the same way that age restrictions on alcohol is handing parenting to bars, liquor stores, beer distributors, and everyone else who sells adult beverages.

I'd also argue the former is more harmful to minors than the latter.

I won't celebrate it, but I'll sure as shit acknowledge the fact that the world is slightly better off since he has left it.

It's as if the only value that sort of question has is to further enrage bigots like Scott Adams.

To anyone else it's nonsensical.

For a longer moment than I care to admit, I thought you were alluding to "woke" space exploration.
